Clare LaVergne
Favorite stamp:
The Masterworks of American Architecture pane issued in 2005. I’ve always found the shapes of buildings really fascinating.
Three things I always have with me:
Phone, chapstick, and my grandmother’s wedding ring.
Favorite way to spend my spare time:
Reading, writing, and walking around the city.
The last book I read:
Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
One thing I can’t live without:
Coffee—the first cup every morning keeps me going.
My favorite place in the United States:
The Massachusetts Avenue bridge spanning the Charles River in between Boston and Cambridge in Massachusetts. I’ve spent hours standing there staring at the city skyline.
The best meal I ever had:
Anything my mom makes. It’s all delicious comfort food.
Life motto:
Follow your passion and keep an open mind.
